Heritage Seed Library Catalogue 2013

Core that's quite a mix. I feel I've picked boring now I'll save Ying's Lablab too when I find out how...Zazzy?!

I've got a lot of peas, toms etc so thought I'd go for a few experimental things that I can't easily get elsewhere as well as some of the more standard stuff.

Good idea. I'm still trying to build my heritage legumes so they were a natural choice really. Plus Mr VVG isn't very experimental, bless him. The kids eat a wider range of food groups

Same as any other bean.

But we need a decent summer first!

Oh OK that's nice and straightforward for me...I like that. Polytunnel crop?

Okey dokey.

Received my seeds today and got Major Cooks bean as a lucky dip. Anyone grown that before?

[FROSTYFRECKLE]

Got my seeds today. My lucky dip is Tall Kale, may pop that into the VSP as I do not have enough room to grow more kale.

I may do same with Major Cook's beans? I am beaned out...

Maybe we have a special HSL swap shop. Wonder what I'll have?

Sounds good VC. Off to research tall kale.

[veggiechicken]

I know I asked for Daubenton's kale but I think Tall kale was one of the 2nd runners. The kales had about 50 seeds in a packet so we could split those and share them round - not so easy when you have 3 squash or even 10 beans!! I'm happy to split my larger packets so that we all have more variety.

I've got mine too - was very exciting All first choices and Major Cook's Beans. Having read up the beans I'll still be growing them as you can never have enough beans and I always like to try a few new varieties - should be able to fit them in among the squash beds next year.

[FROSTYFRECKLE]

Good idea about splitting the bigger packets

Who mentioned Daniel's Defiance Runner bean? HSL have just tweeted that they have run out, so anyone thinking of choosing those - pick another one I'm afraid.
